As the choir fades to disharmony.

Revision 1:
Violent violets crashing in the ground.
petals flying, their story - dying.
Angelic choir singing out of tune.
translated, their life ended too soon.
The chorus fading - disharmony.
Petals are blown away,
I say to him;
It'll be okay.
As long as I can stay.
Staying may not last,
I'll hold you closer -
In the past.
I tried using more rhyme. less instinctual and more of a fixed meter.
